Shimla mosque dispute: Protesters break barricades clash with police

In Himachal Pradesh, protestors demanding the demolition of an illegal structure in a mosque in Shimla's Sanjauli area were lathi-charged by security forces on Wednesday after they broke police barricades during a demonstration.Raising slogans of "Jai Shri Ram" and "Hindu Ekta Zindabad", hundreds of protestors gathered at the Sabzi Mandi Dhalli and marched towards Sanjauli to lodge their protest and broke the barricades erected near the Dhalli tunnel.As the protestors, who had gathered on the call of Hindu groups, broke the second barricade near the mosque, police resorted to lathi-charge and used water cannons to disperse them.

At least two police personnel were injured in the scuffle and stone-pelting, while the protesters claimed some of them sustained injuries as well in the police action.Shimla Superintendent of Police Sanjeev Kumar Gandhi and  Director General of Police (DGP) Atul Verma, said attempts were on to bring the situation under control. Himachal Pradesh Public Works Minister Vikramaditya Singh appealed for peace and said the state government would take necessary legal action on the dispute around the mosque."It is not the case of one structure but there are more than 4,000-5,000 such structures. The matter has been pending in the municipal commissioner's court for the past 14 years and efforts would be taken to expedite the case," he added.The Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Jai Ram Thakur also appealed to protesters not to defy the prohibitory orders.
